PREFACE 


The  compilation  of  the  data  from  which  these  annotations  were 
taken  was  commenced  about  twenty  years  ago.  All  the  practice 
decisions  then  published  were  carefully  read,  their  subject  matter 
noted  for  personal  use  and  found  helpful.  This  work  has  been  con- 
tinued with  the  reading  of  all  current  cases  as  issued,  till,  at  the 
time  of  going  to  press,  about  3,000  cases  have  been  prepared  for  this 
publication. 

It  is  thought  that  the  present  compact  form  will  be  found  sufficient 
in  most  instances,  but  for  rules  that  have  been  frequently  construed 
verbal  notes  will  be  desirable. 

Should  this  publication,  which  is  believed  to  be  the  only  one  of 
its  class  and  scope,  prove  acceptable  to  the  Profession,  a  new  edition 
of  the  Rules  may  be  issued,  accompanied  by  full  syllabi  notes  of  all 
decisions    construing    them,    grouped    together    according    to    their 

subject  matter.

INTRODUCTION 


Individual  judgment  will  vary  in  many  instances  as  to  the  proper 
rule  under  which  a  given  note  should  be  placed.  A  few  remarks  may 
therefore  prove  useful: 

Notes  relating  to  Affidavits,  not  specially  provided  for,  are  placed 
under  rule  76. 

Notes  relating  to  Shifting  the  Burden  of  Proof  in  Interference 
Cases  are  placed  under  rule  116. 

Notes  relating  to  Public  Use  Proceedings  are  placed  under  rule  126. 

Rule  No.  130  was  added  after  the  matter  for  this  work  went  to 
press.  All  notes  which  should  properly  be  placed  under  this  rule 
will  be  found  under  rule  124,  in  the  interpretation  of  which  the 
necessity  for  the  rule  was  developed. 

Notes  relating  to  New  Trials   are   placed  under  rules  142  and  144. 

The  publication  of  the  Commissioner's  Decisions  began  in  1869, 
and  has  been  continued  in  annual  volumes. 

The  Official  Gazette  has  been  published  in  the  following  manner: 
from  1872-1882  inclusive,  two  volumes  per  annum;  1883,  three  vol- 
umes; 1884-1892,  inclusive  four  volumes  per  annum;  1893  to  date, 
six  volumes  per  annum. 

Should  you  desire  all  the  cases  construing  any  one  rule  or  its 
subject  matter,  follow  down  the  right  hand  or  fourth  column  on 
each  page  until  the  number  appears.  The  title  opposite  on  the  same 
line  is  the  case  desired. 

Should  you  desire  to  know  if  any  case  has  been  subsequently 
construed,  find  your  case  in  its  alphabetical  position  in  the  first 
column,  then  look  for  the  figures  immediately  below  its  citations  in 
the  Commissioner's  Decisions  and  the  Official  Gazette  columns. 
These   annotations   are   mostly   subsequent   discussions   of  the   case. 

Should  you  desire  the  citation  on  any  given  title,  you  will  find  it 
on  the  same  line  opposite  its  alphabetical  position. 

Should  you  desire  a  citation  to  the  Commissioner's  Decisions, 
having  it  in  the  Official  Gazette,  or,  vice  versa,  having  it  in  the  Com- 
missioner's Decisions,  should  you  desire  it  in  the  Official  Gazette, 
this  list  will  accommodate  you,  as  both  are  given  opposite  each  other, 
where  it  is  possible.

have  been  entered  of  record,  and  at  a  day  not  later  than 
the  date  of  the  payment  of  the  final  fee  (see  Rule  200);  and 
if  it  be  dated  subsequently  to  the  execution  of  the  applica- 
tion, it  must  give  the  date  of  execution  of  the  application, 
or  the  date  of  filing,  or  the  serial  number,  so  that  there 
can  be  no  mistake  as  to  the  particular  invention  intended. 
The  application  and  oath  nmst  be  signed  by  the  actual  in- 
ventor, if  alive,  even  if  the  patent  is  to  issue  to  an  assignee 
(see  Rules  30,  40);  if  the  inventor  be  dead,  the  applica-

discoverer,  a  patent  will  not  be  refused  on  account  of  theuf^b?  firsTTn- 
invention  or  discovery,  or  any  part  thereof,  having  been

by  them.  Independent  inventors  of  distinct  and  independ- 
ent improvements  in  the  same  machine  can  not  obtain  a 
joint  patent  for  their  separate  inventions.  The  fact  that 
one  person  furnishes  the  capital  and  another  makes  the  in- 
vention does  not  entitle  them  to  make  an  application  as 
joint  inventors;  but  in  such  case  they  may  become  joint 
patentees,  upon  the  conditions  prescribed  in  Rule  26. 

29.  The  receipt  of  letters  patent  from  a  foreign  govern-  ^ev.  stat.,  sec. 
ment  will  not  prevent  the  inventor  from  obtaining  a  patent  Foreign  pat

foreign  patent  was  granted  was  filed  more  than  tioelve  months

case  no  patent  shall  he  granted  in  this  country.

name  of  the  inventor  may  be  signed  on  the  drawing  by  bis 
attorney  in  fact,  and  must  be  attested  by  two  witnesses. 
The  drawing  must  show  every  feature  of  the  invention  cov- 
ered by  the  claims^  and  the  figures  should  be  consecutively 
numbered  if  possible.  When  the  invention  consists  of  an 
improvement  on  an  old  machine  the  drawing  must  exhibit, 
in  one  or  more  views,  the  invention  itself,  disconnected  from 
the  old  structure,  and  also  in  another  view  so  much  only  of 
the  old  structure  as  will  suflace  to  show  the  connection  of 
the  invention  therewith,

and  published — one  for  office  use,  certified  copies,  etc.,  of 
the  size  and  character  of  those  attached  to  patents,  the 
work  })eing  about  G  by  9|-  inches;  one  reduced  to  half  that 
scale,  or  one-fourth  the  surface,  of  which  four  are  printed 
on  a  page  to  illustrate  the  volumes  distributed  to  the 
courts;  and  one  reduction — to  about  the  same  scale — of  a 
selected  portion  of  each  drawing  for  the  Official  Gazette. 

^^rniformstana-  52.  This  work  is  done  by  the  photolithographic  process, 
and  therefore  the  character  of  each  original  drawing  must 
be  brought  as  nearly  as  possible  to  a  uniform  standard  of 


17  52 

excellence,  suited  to  the  requirements  of  the  process,  and 
calculated  to  giva  the  best  results,  in  the  interests  of  invent- 
ors, of  the  office,  and  of  the  public.  The  following  rules 
will  therefore  be  rigidly  enforced,  and  any  departure  from 
them  will  be  certain  to  cause  delay  in  the  examination  of 
an  application  for  letters  patent: 

(1)  Drawings  must  be  made  upon  pure  white  paper  of    Paperandink. 
a  thickness  corresponding  to  three-sheet  Bristol- 
board.     The  surface  of  the  paper  must  be  calen- 
dered and  smooth.     India  ink  alone  must  be  used, 

to  secure  perfectly  l)lack  and  solid  lines. 

(2)  Thesizeof  a  sheet  on  which  a  drawing  is  made  nmst    ^{^^  "^  ^^oet 

^   '  =>  and  marginal 

be  exactly  10  b}'  1 5  inches.  One  inch  from  its  edges  'ines. 
a  single  marginal  line  is  to  be  drawn,  leaving  the 
"sight"  precisely  8  by  13  inches.  Within  this 
margin  all  work  and  signatures  must  be  included. 
One  of  the  shorter  sides  of  the  sheet  is  regarded 
as  its  top,  and,  measuring  downwardly  from  the 
marginal  line,  a  space  of  not  less  than  li  inches  is 
to  be  left  blank  for  the  heading  of  title,  name,  num- 
ber, and  date. 

(3)  All  drawings  nmst  be  made  with  the  pen  onlv-    9'^^'^r^.®'^  *°^ 

^    '  '^  f  J     color  of  lines. 

Every  Ime  and  letter  (signatures  included)  must 
be  absolutely  black.  This  direction  applies  to  all 
lines,  however  tine,  to  shading,  and  to  lines  repre- 
senting cut  surfaces  in  sectional  views.  All  lines 
must  be  clean,  sharp,  and  solid,  and  they  must  not 
be  too  tine  or  crowded.  Surface  shading,  when 
used,  should  be  open.  Sectional  shading  should 
be  made  by  oblique  parallel  lines,  which  may  be 
about  one-twentieth  of  an  inch  apart.  Solid  black 
should  not  be  used  for  sectional  or  surface  shading. 

(4)  Drawings  should  be  made  with  the  fewest  lines  .  Few  lines  and 
possible  consistent  with  clearness.    By  the  observ-  ing. 

ance  of  this  rule  the  effectiveness  of  the  work  after 
reduction  will  be  much  increased.  Shading  (ex- 
cept on  sectional  views)  should  be  used  only  on 
convex  and  concave  surfaces,  where  it  should  be 
used  sparingly,  and  may  even  there  be  dispensed 
with  if  the  drawing  is  otherwise  well  executed. 
The  plane  upon  which  a  sectional  view  is  taken 
should  be  indicated  on  the  general  view  by  a  broken 
or  dotted  line.  Heavy  lines  on  the  shade  sides  of 
objects  should  be  used,  except  where  they  tend  to 
thicken  the  work  and  obscure  letters  of  reference. 
The  lignt  is  alwa}  s  supposed  to  come  from  the  up-

grees.     Imitations  of  wood  or  surface  graining 
should  not  be  attempted. 

(5)  The  scale  to  which  a  drawing  is  made  ought  to  be 
large  enough  to  show  the  mechanism  without 
crowding,  and  two  or  more  sheets  should  be  used 
if  one  does  not  give  sufficient  room  to  accomplish 
this  end;  but  the  number  of  sheets  must  never  be 
more  than  is  absolutely  necessary. 

(6)  The  different  views  should  be  consecutively  num- 
bered.  Letters  and  figures  of  reference  must  be 
carefully  formed.  They  should,  if  possible,  meas- 
ure at  least  one-eighth  of  an  inch  in  height,  so  that 
they  may  bear  reduction  to  one  twenty-fourth  of 
an  inch;  and  they  may  be  much  larger  when  there 
is  sufficient  room.  They  must  be  so  placed  in  the 
close  and  complex  parts  of  drawings  as  not  to  inter- 
fere with  a  thorough  comprehension  of  the  same, 
and  therefore  should  rarely  cross  or  mingle  with 
the  lines.  When  necessarily  grouped  around  a  cer- 
tain part,  they  should  be  placed  at  a  little  distance, 
where  there  is  available  space,  and  connected  by 
short  broken  lines  with  the  parts  to  which  they 
refer.  They  must  never  appear  upon  shaded  sur- 
faces, and  when  it  is  difficult  to  avoid  this,  a  blank 
space  must  be  left  in  the  shading  where  the  letter 
occurs,  so  that  it  shall  appear  perfectl}'  distinct 
and  separate  from  the  work.  If  the  same  part  of 
an  invention  appear  in  more  than  one  view  of  the 
drawing  it  must  always  be  represented  by  the  same 
character,  and  the  same  character  must  never  be 
used  to  designate  different  parts. 

(7)  The  signature  of  the  inventor  should  be  placed 
at  the  lower  right-hand  corner  of  each  sheet,  and 
the  signatures  of  the  witnesses  at  the  lower  left- 
hand  corner,  all  within  the  marginal  line,  but  in  no 
instance  should  they  trespass  upon  the  drawings. 
(See  specimen  drawing,  Appendix.)  The  title 
should  be  written  with  pencil  on  the  back  of  the 
sheet.  The  permanent  names  and  titl(>,  will  be  sup- 
plied subsequently  by  the  office  in  uniform  st3de. 

When  views  are  longer  than  the  width  of  the 
sheet,  the  sheet  should  be  turned  on  its  side  and 
the  heading  will  be  placed  at  the  right  and  the 
signatures  at  the  left,  occup^^ing  the  same  space 
and  position  as  in  the  upright  views,  and  being 
horizontal  when  the  sheet  is  held  in  an  upright 
position;  and  all  views  on  the  same  sheet  must 


19 


53-55 


stand  in  the  same  direction.  One  figuic  must  not 
bo  placed  upon  another  or  within  the  outline  of 
another. 

(8)  As  a  rule,  one  view  only  of  each  invention  can  h«' j,J/^f "'■^'  ^"^^a- 
shown  in  the  Gazette  illustrations.     TIk^  selection 

of  that  portion  of  a  drawing-  ))ost  calculated  to  ex-  • 
plain  the  nature  of  the  specific  improvement  would 
be  facilitated  and  the  final  result  improved  by  the 
judicious  execution  of  a  figure  with  express  refer- 
ence to  the  (irazette,  l)ut  which  might  at  the  same 
time  serve  as  one  of  the  figures  referred  to  in  the 
specification.  For  this  purpose  the  figure  may  be 
a  plan,  elevation,  section,  or  perspective  view,  ac- 
cording to  the  judgment  of  the  draftsman.  It 
must  not  cover  a  space  exceeding  16  square  inches. 
All  its  parts  should  be  especially  open  and  distinct, 
with  very  little  or  no  shading,  and  it  must  illustrate 
the  invention  claimed  only,  to  the  exclusion  of  all 
other  details.  (See  specimen  drawing.)  When 
well  executed,  it  will  be  used  without  curtailment 
or  change,  but  any  excessive  fineness,  or  crowding, 
or  unnecessary  elaborateness  of  detail  will  necessi- 
tate its  exclusion  from  the  Gazette.

scale  as  the  original  dra\ying,  or  upon  a  larger  scale,  unless  a 
reduction  of  scale  shall  be  authorized  by  the  Commissioner.

conf ormit}^  thereto  may  be  admitted  for  purposes  of  exami-

cases  a  new  drawing  must  be  furnished  before  the  appli

corrections  at  the  applicant's  option  and  cost.

as  its  draftsmen  can  make  them,  for  applicants  who  can  not

will  be  sent  to  the  examining  divisions,  whether  models  are 
or  are  not  furnished.  A  model  will  only  be  required  or 
admitted  as  a  part  of  the  application  when  on  examination 
of  the  case  in  its  regular  order  the  primary  examiner  shall 
find  it  to  be  necessary  or  useful.  In  such  case,  if  a  model 
has  not  been  furnished,  the  examiner  shall  notify  the  appli- 
cant of  such  requirement,  which  will  constitute  an  official 
action  in  the  case.  When  a  model  is  received  in  compliance 
with  the  official  requirement,  the  date  of  its  filing  shall  be 
entered  on  the  file  wrapper.  Models  not  required  nor  ad- 
mitted will  be  returned  to  the  applicants.  When  a  model 
is  required,  the  examination  will  be  suspended  until  it  shall 
have  been  filed.  From  a  decision  of  the  primar}^  examiner 
overruling  a  motion  to  dispense  with  a  model  an  appeal 
may  be  taken  to  the  Commissioner  in  person,  under  the

purpose  of  determming  the  question  of  priorit}^  ot  inven-  interference 
tion  between  two  or  more  parties  claiming  substantially  the 
same  patentable  invention.  The  fact  that  one  of  the  parties 
has  already  obtained  a  patent  will  not  prevent  an  inter- 
ference, for,  although  the  Commissioner  has  no  power  to 
cancel  a  patent,  he  may  grant  another  patent  for  the  same 
invention  to  a  person  who  proves  to  be  the  prior  inventor. 

94.  Interferences  will  be  declared  in  the  following  cases,   whendeciaroti

and  the  issue  must  he  clearly  defined;  the  invention  which 
is  to  form  the  subject  of  the  controversy  must  be  decided 
to  be  patentable,  and  the  claims  of  the  respective  parties 
must  be  put  in  such  condition  that  they  will  not  require 
alteration  after  the  interference  shall  have  been  finally 
decided,  unless  the  testimony  adduced  upon  the  trial  shall 
necessitate  or  justify  such  change.

patentable  subject-matter,  the  Examiner,  when  one  of  the 
applications  is  ready  for  allowance,  will  suggest  to  the 
parties  such  claims  as  are  necessary  to  cover  the  common 
invention  in  substantially  the  same  language.  The  parties 
to  whom  the  claims  are  suggested  will  be  required  to  make 
such  claims  and  put  the  applications  in  condition  for  allow- 
ance within  a  specified  time  in  order  that  an  interference 
may  be  declared.  Upon  the  failure  of  any  applicant  to 
make  the  claim  suggested  within  the  time  specified,  such 
failure  or  refusal  shall  be  taken  without  further  action  as 
a  disclaimer  of  the  invention  covered  by  the  claim,  and  the 
issue  of  the  patent  to  the  applicant  whose  application  is  in 
condition  for  allowance  will  not  be  delayed  unless  the  time 
for  making  the  claim  and  putting  the  application  in  con- 
dition for  allowance  be  extended  upon  a  proper  showing. 
If  a  party  make  the  claim  without  putting  his  application 
in  condition  for  allowance,  the  declaration  of  the  inter- 
ference will  not  ])e  delayed,  but  after  judgment  of  priority 
the  application  of  such  partx'  will  Ix'  licld  for  revision  and 
restriction,  subject  to  interference  with  other  applications.

necessary  in  order  to  include  all  interfering  claims.  Where 
the  issue  is  stated  in  more  than  one  count  the  respective 
claims  involved  in  each  count  should  be  specified.  The 
primary  examiner  shall  also  forward  to  the  examiner  of

Nfotice  of  inter-  renewal  of  a  ca\^eat  another  person  shall  file  an  application 
tion.  for  an  invention  which  would  in  any  manner  interfere 

with  the  invention  set  forth  in  such  caveat,  then  such  ap- 
plication will  be  suspended  and  notice  thereof  will  be  sent 
to  the  person  filing  the  caveat. 

If  the  caveator  shall  file  a  complete  application  within 
the  time  prescribed,  and  if  the  invention  be  found  pat- 
entable, he  will  be  entitled  to  an  interference  with  the 
previous  application,  for  the  purpose  of  proving  priority 
of  invention  and  obtaining  the  patent  if  he  be  adjudged 
the  prior  inventor.     The  caveator,  if  he  would  avail  him-

SPECIFICATIONS. 
13.  For  an  art  or  i'hocess. 

To  all  whom  it  may  concern: 

Be  it  known  that  I, ,  a  citizen  of  the  United  States, 

residing  at ,  in  the  count}-  of and  State  of (or  sub 

ject,  etc.),  have  invented  new  and  useful  improvements  in  processes  of 
extracting  gold  from  its  ores,  of  which  the  following  is  a  specification: 

This  invention  relates  to  the  process  of  extracting  gold  from  its  ores 
by  means  of  a  solution  of  cyanide  of  an  alkali  or  alkaline  earth,  and  has 
for  its  object  to  render  the  process  more  expeditious  and  considerably 
cheaper. 

In  extracting  gold  from  its  ores  b}^  means  of  a  solution  of  cyanide  of 
potassium,  sodium,  barium,  etc.,  the  simultaneous  oxidation  of  the  gold 
is  necessary,  and  this  has  hitherto  been  effected  by  the  action  of  the 
air  upon  the  gold  which  is  rendered  oxidizable  thereb}-  by  the  action  of 
the  cyanide  solution. 

Instead  of  depending  solely  upon  the  agency  of  the  air  for  the  oxi- 
dizing action  I  employ ,  to  assist  the  oxidation  of  the  gold,  ferricj'anide 
of  potassium  or  another  ferricyanogen  salt  of  an  alkali  or  of  an  earth 
alkali  in  an  alkaline  solution.  By  this  means  the  oxidation  being  ren- 
dered very  much  more  energetic  is  effected  with  a  considerably  smaller 
quantity  of  the  solvent.  Thus,  by  the  addition  of  ferricyanide  of  potas- 
sium or  other  ferricyanides  to  the  cyanide  of  potassium  solution,  as 
much  as  eighty  per  cent  of  potassium  cyanide  may  be  saved. 

It  may  be  remarked  that  the  ferricyanide  of  potassium  alone  will  not 
dissolve  the  gold  and  does  not  therefore  come  under  the  category  of  a 
solvent  hitherto  employed  in  processes  of  extraction.  It  does  not  there- 
fore render  unnecessary  the  employment  of  the  simple  cyanide  as  a  sol- 
vent, but  onl}^  reduces  the  amount  required  owing  to  the  capacity  of  the 
ferric3^anide  to  assist  the  air  to  rapidly  oxidize  the  gold  in  the  pres- 
ence of  the  simple  salt.  Consequently  the  cyanogen  of  the  latter  is  not 
used  to  form  the  gold  cyanide  compound. 

I  claim: 

The  process  of  extracting  gold  from  its  ores  consisting  in  subjecting 
the  ores  to  the  dissolving  action  of  cyanide  of  potassium  in  the  pres- 
ence of  ferricyanide  of  potassium,  substantially  as  herein  described.

14.  For  a  machine. 

To  all  whom  it  may  concern: 

Be  it  known  that  I, a  citizen  of  the  United  States, 

residino-  at ,  in  the  count}"  of ,  and  State  of (or 

subject,  etc.),  have  invented  a  new  and  useful  meat-chopping  machine, 
of  which  the  following  is  a  specification: 

M}'  invention  relates  to  improvements  in  meat-chopping  machines  in 
which  verticalh'-reciprocating  knives  operate  in  conjunction  with  a 
rotating  chopping  block;  and  the  objects  of  my  improvement  are,  first, 
to  provide  a  ct)ntinuously-lubricated  bearing  for  the  block;  second,  to 
afford  facilities  for  the  proper  adjustment  of  the  knives  independently 
of  each  other  in  respect  to  the  face  of  the  block;  and,  third,  to  reduce 
the  friction  of  the  reciprocating  rod  which  carries  the  knives. 

I  attain  these  objects  by  the  mechanism  illustrated  in  the  accom- 
panying drawing,  in  which- — 

Figure  1  is  a  vertical  section  of  the  entire  machine;  Fig.  2,  a  top  view 
of  the  machine  as  it  appears  after  the  removal  of  the  chopping  block 
and  knives;  Fig.  3,  a  vertical  section  of  a  part  of  the  machine  on  the  line 
1  2,  Fig.  2;  and  Fig.  4,  a  detailed  view  in  perspective  of  the  reciprocating 
cross-head  and  its  knives. 

Similar  letters  refer  to  similar  parts  throughout  the  several  views. 

The  table  or  plate  A,  its  legs  or  standards  B  B,  and  the  hanger  «, 
secured  to  the  underside  of  the  table,  constitute  the  framework  of  the 
machine.  In  the  hanger  a  turns  the  shaft  D,  carrying  a  fly-wheel  E, 
to  the  hub  of  which  is  attached  a  crank  o^  and  a  crank-pin  7^,  connected 
by  a  link  J,  to  a  pin  passing  through  a  crosshead  G,  and  to  the  latter 
is  secured  a  rod  H,  having  at  its  upper  end  a  crosshead  I,  carrying  the 
adjustable  chopping  knives  d  d,  referred  to  hereinafter. 

The  cross-head  G,  reciprocated  by  the  shaft  D,  is  provided  with  anti- 
friction rollers  e  e,  adapted  to  guides  yy,  secured  to  the  under  side  of 
the  table  A,  so  that  the  reciprocation  of  this  cross-head  may  be  accom- 
panied with  as  little  friction  as  possible. 

To  the  under  side  of  a  wooden  chopping-block  J  is  secured  an  annular 
rib  //,  adapted  to  and  bearing  in  an  annular  groove  i  in  the  table  A. 
(See  Figs.  1  and  2.)  This  annular  groove  or  channel  is  not  of  the  same 
depth  throughout,  but  communicates  at  one  or  more  points  (two  in  the 
present  instance)  with  pockets  or  receptacles jf  j?  wider  than  the  groove 
and  containing  supplies  of  oil,  in  contact  with  which  the  rib  A  rotates, 
so  that  the  continuous  lubrication  of  the  groove  and  rib  is  assured. 
The  rod  II  passes  through  and  is  guided  by  a  central  stand  K,  secured 
to  the  table  A,  and  projecting  through  a  central  opening  in  the  chopping- 
block  without  being  in  contact  therewith,  the  upper  portion  of  the  i>a\d 
stand  being  contained  within  a  cover  kj  which  is  secured  to  the  block, 


67 

and  which  prevents  particles  of  meat  from  escaping  through  the  cen 
tral  opening  of  the  same. 

The  cross-head  I,  previously  referred  to,  and  shown  in  perspective  in 
Fig.  4,  is  vertically  adjustable  on  the  rod  H,  and  can  be  retained  after 
adjustment  by  a  set-screw  a',  the  upper  end  of  the  rod  being  threaded 
for  the  reception  of  nuts,  which  resist  the  shocks  imparted  to  the  cross- 
head  when  the  knives  are  brought  into  violent  contact  with  the  meat 
or  the  chopping-block. 

The  knives  d  d  are  adjustable  independently  of  each  other  and  of  the 
said  cross-head,  so  that  the  coincidence  of  the  cutting-edge  of  each  knife 
with  the  face  of  the  chopping-block  may  always  ])o  assured. 

I  prefer  to  carry  out  this  feature  of  my  invention  in  the  manner  shown 
in  Fig.  4,  where  it  will  be  seen  that  two  screw-rods  m  rii  rise  vertically 
from  the  back  of  each  knife  and  pass  through  lugs  n  n  on  the  cross- 
head,  each  rod  being  furnished  with  two  nuts,  one  above  and  the  other 
below  the  lug  through  which  it  passes.  The  most  accurate  adjustment 
of  the  knives  can  be  effected  by  the  manipulation  of  these  nuts. 

A  circular  casing  jr;  is  secured  to  the  chopping-block,  so  as  to  form  on 
the  same  a  trough  P  for  keeping  the  meat  within  proper  bounds;  and 
on  the  edge  of  the  annular  rib  h^  secured  to  the  bottom  of  the  block,  are 
teeth  ?',  for  receiving  those  of  a  pinion  q.  which  may  be  driven  by  the 
shaft  D  through  the  medium  of  any  suitable  system  of  gearing,  that 
shown  in  the  drawing  forming  no  part  of  my  present  invention. 

This  shaft  D  may  be  driven  by  a  belt  passing  round  the  pulleys  .§,  or 
it  may  be  driven  by  hand  from  a  shaft  W,  furnished  at  one  end  with  a 
handle  f^  and  at  the  other  with  a  cog-wheel  R,  gearing  into  a  pinion  on 
the  said  shaft  D. 

A  platform  T  may  be  hinged,  as  at  w^  to  one  edge  of  the  table  A,  to 
support  a  vessel  in  which  the  chopped  meat  can  be  deposited.  The 
means  by  which  it  may  be  supported  are  shown  in  full  lines,  and  the 
most  convenient  method  of  disposing  of  it  when  not  in  use  is  shown 
in  dotted  lines,  in  fig.  1. 

1  am  aware  that  prior  to  my  invention  meat-chopping  machines  have 
been  made  with  vertically-reciprocating  knives  operating  in  conjunction 
with  rotating  chopping-blocks.  I  therefore  do  not  claim  such  a  combi- 
nation broadly ;  but 

I  claim: 

1.  The  combination,  in  a  meat-chopping  machine,  of  a  rotary  chop- 
ping-block having  an  annular  rib,  with  a  table  having  an  annular  recess 
and  a  pocket  communicating  with  the  said  recess,  all  substantially  as 
set  forth. 

2.  In  ameat-choppingmachine,  the  combination  of  a  rotary  chopping- 
block  with  a  reciprocating  cross-head  carrying  knives,  each  of  which  is 


68 

rerticaUy  adjustable  on  the  said  cross-head  independently  of  the  other, 
substantialh'  as  described. 

3.  The  knife  d,  having  two  screw-rods,  m«?,  attached  to  its  back,  sub- 
stantially as  shown,  for  the  purpose  specified. 

4.  The  combination,  in  a  meat-chopping  machine,  of  the  reciprocating 
rod,  carrying  the  knives,  the  cross-head  secured  to  the  said  rod,  and 
having  anti-friction  rollers,  with  guides,  adapted  to  the  said  rollers,  all 
substantially  as  set  forth.

15.  For  a  compositiox  of  matter. 

To  all  whom  it  rtiay  concern: 

Be  it  known  that  I, ,  a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  residing 

at ,  in  the  count}'  of ..  and  State  of (or  subject,  etc.), 

have  invented  a  new  and  useful  composition  of  matter  to  be  used  for 
the  removal  of  hair  and  grease  from  hides  preparatory  to  tanning,  of 
which  the  following  is  a  specification: 

My  composition  consists  of  the  following  ingredients,  combined  in 
the  proportions  stated,  viz: 

Water  substantially  pure 500  gallons. 

Unslaked  lime 350  pounds. 

Soda-ash  (sodium  carbonate) 100  pounds. 

Saltpeter  (nitrate  of  an  alkali  metal) 20  pounds. 

Sulphur  (preferably  flowers  of  sulphur) 10  pounds. 

These  ingredients  are  to  be  thoroughly  mingled  by  agitation. 

In  using  the  above-named  composition  the  hides  should  first  be  freed 
from  all  salt  and  impurities  b}'  soaking  green  hides  one  day  and  dry 
hides  eight  days.  The  hides  so  cleaned  are  then  placed  in  the  said 
solution,  and  allowed  to  remain  in  it  forty-eight  hours.  The}'  should 
then  be  removed  from  the  solution  and  unhaired  in  the  usual  way. 

By  the  use  of  the  above  composition  the  hair  is  speedily  and  thor- 
oughly loosened,  and  the  hides,  while  rotahiiiig  all  of  that  portion  of 
the  substance  which  can  be  converted  into  leather,  are  at  the  same 
time  entirely  cleaned  from  grease  and  other  substances  which  would 
prevent  them  from  being  tanned  quickly. 

I  am  aware  that  a  composition  consisting  of  soda-ash,  water,  lime, 
and  sulphur  has  been  used  for  the  same  purpose,  and  that  a  patent 

therefor  was  granted  to  C.  D. ,  July  10,  18  - . ,  No I  am  also  aware 

that  saltpeter  has  been   used  in  depilatory  processes;  but  I  am  not

17.  For  a  caveat. 


To  all  lohom,  it  may  concern : 

Be  it  known  that  I, ,  a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  residing  at 

,  in  the  county  of and  State  of (or  subject,  etc.), 

having  invented  an  improvement  in  velocipedes,  and  desiring  further 


70 

to  mature  the  same,  file  this  mj  caveat  therefor,  and  pray  protection 
of  inv  right  until  I  shall  have  matured  mv  invention. 

The  following  is  a  description  of  my  newly-invented  velocipede,  which 
is  as  full,  clear,  and  exact  as  I  am  able  at  this  time  to  give,  reference 
being  had  to  the  drawing  hereto  annexed. 

This  invention  relates  to  that  class  of  velocipedes  in  which  there  are 
two  wheels  connected  by  a  beam  forming  a  saddle  for  the  rider,  the  feet 
being  applied  to  cranks  that  revolve  the  front  wheel. 

The  object  of  my  invention  is  to  render  it  unnecessary  to  turn  the 
front  wheel  so  much  as  heretofore,  and  at  the  same  time  to  facilitate  the 
turning  of  sharp  curves.  This  I  accomplish  by  fitting  the  front  and 
the  hind  Avheels  on  vertical  pivots,  and  connecting  them  by  means  of  a 
diagonal  bar,  as  shown  in  the  drawing,  so  that  the  turning  of  the  front 
wheel  also  turns  the  back  wheel  with  a  position  at  an  angle  with  the 
beams,  thereby  enabling  it  easily  to  turn  a  curve. 

In  the  drawing,  A  is  the  front  wheel,  B  the  hind  wheel,  and  C  the 
standards  extending  from  the  axle  of  the  front  wheel  to  the  vertical 
pivot  E  in  the  beam  F,  and  D  is  the  cross-bar  upon  the  end  of  E,  by 
which  the  steering  is  done.  The  hind  wheel  B  is  also  fitted  with  jaws 
G  and  a  vertical  pivot  H.

INSTRUCTIONS  TO  APPELLANTS. 

The  act  of  Congress  creating  the  court  of  appeals  of  the  District  of 
Columbia,  approved  February  5),  1893,  gives  to  that  court  jurisdiction 
of  appeals  from  final  decisions  of  the  Commissioner  of  Patents  both  in 
ex  "parte  cases  and  in  interference  cases. 


89 

Where  an  appeal  of  cithor  class  is  to  be  prosecuted  to  the  court  ol 
appeals  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  the  first  step  is  to  tile  with  the 
Commissioner  of  Patents  a  notice  of  appeal,  together  with  an  assign- 
ment of  reasons  of  appeal.  This  step  must  be  taken  within /^r/y  days, 
exclusive  of  Sundays  and  legal  holidays,  from  the  date  of  the  decision 
of  the  Commissioner  of  Patents  sought  to  be  reviewed. 

The  next  step  in  the  prosecution  of  such  an  appeal  is  to  file  witli  the 
clerk  of  the  court  of  appeals  of  the  District  of  Columbia  a  certilied 
transcript  of  the  record  and  proceedings  in  the  Patent  Office  relating 
to  the  case  in  question,  together  with  a  petition  for  appeal,  addressed 
to  the  court  of  appeals  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  make  a  deposit  of 
$15,  and  have  the  appearance  of  a  member  of  the  bar  of  that  court 
entered  for  the  appellant. 

The  notice  of  appeal  and  reasons  of  appeal  required  to  be  served  upon 
the  Commissioner  of  Patents  ma};^  be  signed  by  the  applicant  or  by  his 
attorney  of  record  in  the  Patent  Office,  but  the  petition  for  an  appeal 
that  is  filed  in  the  court  of  appeals  of  the  District  of  Columbia  must 
be  signed  by  a  member  of  the  bar  of  the  court  of  appeals  of  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia,  who  should  enter  a  regular  appearance  in  the  case 
in  the  clerk's  office. 

After  the  petition  for  the  appeal,  the  certified  transcript,  and  the 
docket  fee  of  $15  have  been  lodged  in  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  the 
court  of  appeals  of  the  District  of  Columbia,  the  clerk  will  send  to 
the  solicitor  of  record  an  estimate  of  the  cost  of  printing  the  petition, 
transcript,  etc. 

When  the  amount  called  for  is  deposited,  the  clerk  will  cause  the 
printing  to  be  done  under  his  supervision,  and  when  the  printing  is 
completed  the  case  will  be  put  on  the  calendar  for  hearing  at  the  next 
term  at  which  patent  appeals  are  heard. 

In  interference  cases  the  clerk  is  authorized  to  receive  printed  copies 
of  the  evidence,  such  as  have  been  used  in  the  Patent  Office,  thus 
saving  to  the  appellant  the  cost  of  reprinting  such  evidence.  When 
such  printed  copies  are  supplied,  twenty-five  copies  must  be  furnished. 

As  above  stated,  the  notice  of  appeal  and  the  reasons  of  appeal  are 
required  to  be  filed  with  the  Commissioner  of  Patents  within  forty 
days  {exclusive  of  Sundays  and  legal  holidays)  of  the  date  of  the  deci- 
sion appealed  from,  but  the  petition  for  appeal  and  the  certified  tran- 
script which  are  to  be  filed  in  the  court  of  appeals  of  the  District  of 
Columbia  are  required  to  be  filed  in  that  court  within  forty  days  {exclu- 
sive of  Sundays  andlegal  Iu}lldays)froin  the  time  of  the  giving  ofthenotlce 
of  appeal;  that  is  to  say,  if  the  decision  complained  of  was  rendered, 
for  instance,  on  the  1st  day  of  July,  1896,  the  party  aggrieved  might 
file  his  notice  of  appeal,  with  the  reasons  of  appeal,  at  any  time  within 
forty  days  {exclusive  of  Sundays  and  legal  holidays)  thereafter;  but  if 
he  filed  his  notice  of  appeal  and  reasons  therefor  on  the  10th  day  of 
July,  1896,  he  would  be  required  to  file  his  petition  for  appeal  and  the 
certified  transcript  in  the  court  of  appeals  of  the  District  of  Columbia
